HAREM SCAREM is finally back with their return album Chasing Euphoria, their first new album in 5 years. Their new record is an absolute belter for all melodic hard rock fans and shows clearly why when a discussion arises on who are the current heavyweights of the melodic hard rock scene, the list of names being bantered about cannot avoid a mention of HAREM SCAREM.

Chasing Euphoria brings back the band's classic sound and shows a band at the top of their game. A cohesive unit still able to deliver a power-rock-packed punch, swaggering riffs, and hooks to die for. Harry Hess and Pete Lesperance, without a doubt, show the world that their partnership still works!

Chasing Euphoria Track List:

  • "Chasing Euphoria"
  • "Better The Devil You Know"
  • "Slow Burn"
  • "Gotta Keep Your Head Up"
  • "World On Fire"
  • "Bad Way"
  • "Reliving History"
  • "A Falling Knife"
  • "Understand It All"
  • "Wasted Years"
Arguably Canada's finest melodic hard rock band, HAREM SCAREM were formed in 1987 by guitarist Pete Lesperance and singer Harry Hess, formerly of the heavy metal band BLIND VENGEANCE. The lineup was rounded out by Darren Smith (drums) and Mike Gionet (bass).

They recorded a demo in 1999, and on its strength, they were signed with Warner Music. Their self-titled album was a significant success in Canada and paved the way for the release of the heavier Mood Swings album in 1993, often considered the crown jewel of their early releases.

Enjoying a particular success in the land of the Rising Sun, HAREM SCAREM kept on releasing albums regularly during the 90s until they decided to ultimately change their name and music style to RUBBER between 1999 and 2001.

In 2002, the band returned to melodic hard rock with the milestone album Weight Of The World, which was their first proper release in the European marketplace thanks to their newly signed deal with Frontiers. With the Italian label, HAREM SCAREM released another five original albums (not counting 2006's Human Nature) until they took a break from recording in 2008 after the release of the album Hope.

In December 2012, it was announced that a reunited HAREM SCAREM would headline the 10th Firefest festival in Nottingham, UK, in October 2013, to perform the Mood Swings album in its entirety. The band regrouped and performed at Firefest and moved forward re-recording Mood Swings II, a twentieth-anniversary re-recording of their critically acclaimed and fan-favorite second album.

The three new songs on that release showed renewed musical vigor and chemistry. This new energy was confirmed on 2014's Thirteen release, which was a definitive return to the sound that put HAREM SCAREM on the map over 20 years earlier.

Two more acclaimed albums followed: United (2017) and Change The World (2020), where the band presented a new lineup featuring Harry Hess (lead vocals, keyboards), Pete Lesperance (guitars, keyboards), long-time drummer Creighton Doane, Mike Vassos on bass, and backing vocals from original sticksman Darren Smith.

With well over a million records sold in 43 countries and 12 top 40 hits around the globe, the new year will see HAREM SCAREM return and ready to dominate! Check them out on tour in Europe in spring!
